Shashi Tharoor Hails under-publicised Talent Ravichandran Smaran After Another Double Ton
Vijay Hazare Trophy: Shashi Tharoor has heaped praise on Karnatakas rising batting star Ravichandran Smaran, calling attention to his extraordinary domestic form and lamenting how players like him often remain under-recognised. Batting first in Hubli, Karnataka were rocked early at 13 for 2 and later 64 for 3, but Smaran once again stood tall, producing a career-best unbeaten 227 off 362 balls against Chennai on Monday. Remarkable. Important to draw attention to such under-publicised talents. No doubt he will have to excel in the IPL before the selectors will notice! Tharoor posted on X, after the 22-year-old struck yet another monumental double century in the Ranji Trophy. His innings, decorated with 16 fours and two sixes, formed the backbone of Karnatakas massive first-innings total of 547 for 8 declared. He was supported by Karun Nair, who crafted a solid 95 during a 119-run stand, followed by valuable contributions from Shreyas Gopal (62) and Shikhar Shetty (59). This knock marked Smarans second double century in three games and his third overall in first-class cricket, all inside his first 13 matches. He had earlier scored an unbeaten 220 against Kerala and a 203 against Punjab in January. With this latest effort, he has surged to fourth in the seasons run-scoring charts with 595 runs at an astonishing average of 119, trailing only Sanat Sangwan, Karun Nair and Arman Jaffer. This knock marked Smarans second double century in three games and his third overall in first-class cricket, all inside his first 13 matches. He had earlier scored an unbeaten 220 against Kerala and a 203 against Punjab in January. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Picked as a replacement by Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2025 and retained for IPL 2026, Smaran is yet to make his debut, but his domestic form continues to demand attention. His last 13 innings across formats read like a prodigys logbook: 76 in a VHT semifinal, a match-winning 101* in the final, a 203, 133*, 220*, scores in the 70s, 50sand now this unbeaten 227.

No anticipatory bail for two accused of cheating former Karnataka CM Sadananda Gowda
BENGALURU: A city civil and sessions court has refused to grant anticipatory bail to two persons accused of cheating former chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda of nearly Rs 3 lakh in September. Sriu Tenzin Pelyon, 32, of Himachal Pradesh and Yeshi Chodon, 31, from Odisha, directors of Lhakar Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Domlur, Bengaluru North, had applied for anticipatory bail. Considering the objections filed by the prosecution, Judge Gangappa Irappa Patil, 52nd Additional City Civil and Sessions Court, said that in the FIR, the names of the accused have not been mentioned. It is true that the FIR has been registered against unknown persons. Money has been transferred to the bank account of the company of the accused... At this stage, it is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioners, he said. In his complaint filed at the North CEN crime police station, Gowda said that he had purchased a new Innova car and on September 11, he received a message purportedly from India Post stating that the Registration Certificate (RC) of his vehicle has been sent. But it did not reach him. Later, when he tried to track the speed post sent to him on the Indian Speed Post Tracking system, he received a link that sought certain details. He submitted alldetails, including the tracking ID. Subsequently, he received a WhatsApp call from cellphone No. 84******03, claiming to be from India Post courier customer care centre. The caller requested him to make a nominal payment of Rs 2 for verification of the tracking ID. Gowda tried to make the payment through PhonePe, but failed. Then, the unknown caller informed Gowda that the RC card will be sent to his residential address. Gowda stated that when he checked his savings accounts withSBI, Axis Bank and HDFC banks around 9am on September 17, he found that Rs 2,85,999 had been withdrawn without his knowledge. Meanwhile, the investigation took theCEN police to the accuseds company. Fearing their arrest, the accused approached the court for anticipatory bail.Claiming that they haveno role in the crime, the accused said the bank account of their company has been wrongly and inadvertently linked to the offence, despite having no transaction or monetary link with the accounts of Gowda. Neither their company nor its directors used the cell phone No. 84******03, they claimed. The public prosecutor filed objections stating that the investigation is pending and the police are yet to file the chargesheet. If the petitioners are granted anticipatory bail, their presence cannot be secured easily. Further, the petitioners are from other states, though they work in Bengaluru. If they are granted anticipatorybail, they may tamper with witnesses and hamper the investigation.
Bengaluru MLAs complain of contractors delaying projects
BENGALURU: Bengalurus crumbling roads have sparked a fierce face-off -- not between the ruling and opposition parties, but between elected representatives and citys contractors. From Shivajinagar to Rajajinagar to Yeshwanthpur, MLAs are venting frustration, alleging that contractors are holding the city hostage with delays, inefficiency and unresponsiveness. Shivajinagar MLA Rizwan Arshad accused the contractor handling the Narayan Pillai Street whitetopping work of abandoning the project for nearly six months. The road is a critical link between St Johns Road, Coles Park, and Commercial Street. I have been gently reminding the contractor to finish the work, Arshad said. If I push too firmly, it should not become difficult, he said, adding, many contractors are the root cause of Bengalurus stalled infrastructure works. In Rajajinagar, senior BJP MLA and former minister Suresh Kumar complained about white-topping work on Dr Rajkumar Road, one of the citys busiest stretches. This road connects Bengaluru to Kittur Karnataka, Kalyana Karnataka and coastal Karnataka. Nearly 4,000 KSRTC buses and thousands of other vehicles use it daily. The project was handed to Ocean Constructions, which had no background in such works. I escalated the issue to the Greater Bengaluru authorities, with a meeting scheduled with the additional commissioner. If there is still no action, I may have to sit on a dharna, he added. Yeshwanthpur MLA ST Somashekar is battling a similar crisis. He said, The work on two key stretches -- Mylasandra Main Road and Kodipalya Main Road -- have been stuck for nearly two years despite a Rs 50 crore contract awarded to a contractor, Hidayatullah. In spite of repeatedly reminding him and BBMP officials, there is no progress. He has escalated the matter to Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who has instructed authorities to push the work. But with no movement on the ground, Somashekar too is contemplating a dharna.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is pushing for a cabinet reshuffle in November. However, the Congress high command in Delhi appears to favor maintaining the current government structure. Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar is reportedly against any changes, fearing it could impact his political future. Supporters of both leaders are actively lobbying in Delhi.

Vacancies in Information Commissioner posts undermining RTI Act: Supreme Court
Observing that the vacancies in the Information Commissioner posts undermine the functioning of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, the Supreme Court on Monday directed Himachal Pradesh to fill all vacant posts in its State Information Commission (SIC) within two months. It also instructed Jharkhand to complete its long-pending appointment process within one month. A two-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Surya Kant and including Justice Joymalya Bagchi, was hearing a petition filed by Anjali Bhardwaj, Commodore Lokesh Batra (Retd.) and Amrita Johri. The plea was on the prolonged failure of the Union government and several states to appoint Information Commissioners. Lawyer Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioners, pointed out that the Central Information Commission (CIC) has been without a chief for more than two months and that eight of the ten sanctioned Information Commissioner posts are vacant. He submitted that the CIC currently faces a backlog of nearly 30,000 cases. Bhushan contended that several SICs are also functioning with serious shortages. Bhushan further noted that the situation in several State Information Commissions was also alarming. In Jharkhand, the SIC has been defunct for more than five years and now the commission has even stopped registering new cases. In Himachal Pradesh, the SIC has been defunct for more than four months. He highlighted that in Chhattisgarh, the SIC is functioning with a single commissioner despite pendency of nearly 35,000 appeals and complaints. Similarly, in Maharashtra, the SIC is functioning with eight commissioners. while three posts are lying vacant and the backlog of cases is nearly 1 lakh, Bhushan pointed out. In Tamil Nadu, the government has sanctioned only seven posts of commissioners even though the SIC has among the largest backlogs in the country at 41,000, he said. In Madhya Pradesh, the SIC is functioning with four commissioners. while 20,000 matters are pending, he added. In several other states also, despite large backlogs, several posts of commissioners are lying vacant. It was highlighted that governments are completely undermining peoples Right to Information by not appointing information commissioners in a timely and transparent manner, leading to buildup of large backlogs and long delays of more than one year in the disposal of appeals and complaints. The issue of ensuring transparency in the appointment process as laid down in the Anjali Bhardwaj judgment of 2019 was also highlighted. The lawyer added that since the last hearing on October 27, 2025, the Karnataka government has filled all the vacancies in the commission and the SIC is now functioning at its full strength of 11 commissioners. The counsel for the Union of India stated that the selection committee meeting will be held at the earliest and the appointment process will be completed.
